Coconut Macaroons
December 21st, 2009
These Coconut Macaroons are really easy to make and are usually eaten at Christmas time here in Norway. They are delicious while they are still warm and have a crispy coating and a soft and chewy center.
Try dipping (half) these macaroons in melted chocolate and allow to set in the fridge, yummy!
Ingredients:
- 200gr Desiccated Coconut
- 200g Sugar
- 4 Egg Whites
Method:
- Pre-heat the oven to 175c.
- Blend the sugar and coconut in a thick bottomed pan.
- Add the the egg whites and mix over a low heat until it is warm and the sugar has melted.
Mixing the egg whites, coconut and sugar - Using two teaspoons, shape the mixture into ‘quenelles’ (mini rugby balls).
Making quenelles with two teaspoons - Bake in the oven for approximately 10 minutes or until they are golden brown.
- Allow to cool slightly before eating.
